It appears that Mr Ball went to the locality known as Robinson’s Lakes, for the purpose of securing a quantity of sticks. Tie was unaccompanied and after the accident was compelled to walk the whole distance to Foxton. a feat, which, in view of the floss of blood sustained and the fact that the wound was so severe as to include the severance of the tendons of the foot, was most remarkable.
